That Astra Ruth is a terribly underrated rarity. Very few people know now hard any Astra branded card is to find. Took me years to get a Schmeling for my boxing type card collection. Meanwhile...



Coney Island Arcade Lou Gehrig.

Thanks to all who posted the kind words on my 1/1 Cobb & Wagner cards.

James, almost all of the cards that I have from this set came from a large collection of cards that my father and I obtained from the original collector back in the mid 1970s.

For the longest time, I had no idea what these cards even were until I started getting back into the hobby in the late 1990s and found a checklist for them. It turns out that, at the time, only 16 different players were known and I had 8 that were not part of the checklist (including Cobb and Wagner).

I reached out to Bob Lemke of SCD about the cards that weren't on the checklist and brought him proof one year at a show in Philadelphia. Below is the write up that Mr. Lemke put in SCD regarding the new additions to the set.
